PWHL Boston Fleet Win Over Toronto Sceptres in Boston – Recap & Photos
The Boston Fleet battled it out again with the Toronto Sceptres at Tsongas Center in Lowell, MA. Though the Fleet have had some trouble with Toronto this season, this time Boston was victorious with an astounding 3-0 win at home.
Hannah Bilka made her return to ice from long-term injury reserve, playing her first game since January 31, 2025. Forward Kelly Babstock and defender Hadley Hartmetz from the team’s Reserve Player list, were also activated. The Fleet also placed forwards Alina Müller and Amanda Pelkey on LTIR and forward Jillian Dempsey on the Reserve Player list. Star goaltender Aerin Frankel was also out for this game dealing with an injury.
Klara Peslarova got her first start in net, in place of Frankel and she truly shined as she posted her first shutout in the league. She saw 29 shots and stopped all of them.
There were a lot of key moments throughout this game and the Fleet really turned the heat on early in the game. They came out ready to go and fight for their playoff spot. The first goal of the game came from Lexie Adzija which was just three-minutes into the first period. The assist came from Jaime Lee Rattray, and was Adzija’s second goal of the season.
Boston kept the pressure on all game, making sure nothing got past Peslarova. From hard puck battles to great forchecking, the fleet kept Toronto on their toes. With time ticking away in the first period, Hannah Brandt would come through and backhand the puck through Campbell’s pads to give the Fleet a 2-0 lead late in the first.
The pressure continued into the second period but things were a little more quiet. With seconds remaining, Theresa Schafzahl tipped the puck in off a pass from Jaime Lee Rattray, that would lead to Boston’s 3rd goal of the game for a commanding 3-0 lead over Toronto.
The 3rd period was quiet but dominant as Toronto saw more zone time but Boston held their ground and kept them scoreless for the whole game. It was a full team effort by Boston and they truly gave it their all to come out on top victorious.
The Fleet will close out the regular season against the Minnesota Frost on May 3rd at 1pm at home in Lowell, MA.

NSL Vancouver Rise Boost Playoff Hopes with Victory Over Calgary Wild
Vancouver Rise FC have ended their season on a high note and improved their chances of
reaching the playoffs after defeating Calgary Wild FC 3-2 at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby, BC. The Rise delivered under pressure thanks to a beautiful goal from Mia Pante as well as a much-needed second-half strike from Jessica DeFilippo.
The Rise marked the scoresheet twice in the first half, leading the Wild 2 to nil at the 35-minute mark after Alex Lamontagne connected with Pante who cleared the goalkeeper and calmly hit the back of the net.
Calgary responded before halftime, however, as Josie Aulicino found the net with a strike from outside the penalty area, cutting the deficit to 2-1 and keeping halting what at times looked like a runaway train.
Calgary largely dominated the second half, forcing Vancouver onto their back feet. Vancouver was pinned in their own zone, unwillingly defending their lead as Calgary took shot after shot on goal. A quiet crowd got to their feet for their Captain Shannon Woeller who made her first appearance of the season in the 88-minute mark, leaving the bench to steady the team in the final few minutes.
Despite the early charge, Vancouver managed to record the win and take the points, if in a
somewhat anxiety-filled final 45. The three points keep the Rise in the playoff conversation, with the final result to be decided Monday as Halifax faces off against AFC Toronto.

WWE Monday Night Raw Keeps the Momentum Rolling in Ottawa
WWE Monday Night Raw rolled into Ottawa on August 24 with plenty of moving pieces and a clear focus on building toward the next major chapters for both the men’s and women’s divisions. From LA Knight’s confrontation with Roman Reigns to Stephanie Vaquer’s return, a World Heavyweight Championship tournament, and a heated Oba Femi-Bron Breakker contract signing, the episode packed a lot into three hours without losing sight of its bigger stories.
This was a busy, storyline-heavy episode built almost entirely around momentum heading toward Sunday Night’s Main Event on September 6. LA Knight opened the show by calling out World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, only for Solo Sikoa to interrupt and thank Knight for backing him up the previous week, before the Usos showed up and set a tag match in motion for later in the night. That opening angle paid off with a hard-hitting brawl, and the show closed with Knight, Sikoa, and both Usos left laid out while returning duo Royce Keys and OTM stood tall over the wreckage.
In the ring, the standout was Stephanie Vaquer‘s return match against Roxanne Perez, which saw Judgment Day interference from Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez met by a counter from Becky Lynch. Vaquer sealed the win by dodging a moonsault and connecting with a butterfly backbreaker into a lungblower combo, and the post-match staredown with Lynch added a nice extra layer of tension. It fed directly into the next chapter of her title chase, with Vaquer told backstage that she’ll get her shot at Liv Morgan‘s Women’s World Championship on the September 7 RAW.
The tournament for a World Heavyweight Championship shot also moved forward, with Penta defeating LA Parka and Rey Fenix defeating Dragon Lee to set up a Penta-vs-Fenix final. The Penta/Parka match got a nice reaction, as Parka survived a Penta Driver and answered with a top-rope Spanish Fly before Penta eventually got the win.
The other big story beat was the contract signing for Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker. Breakker accused Femi of taking the spot he used to hold and vowed to make him live in his shadow, while Femi shot back that Breakker could’ve been the future of WWE in a different era, just not while he’s around. The segment boiled over into a physical confrontation, with Breakker jumping Femi before Austin Theory got involved, and Femi eventually powering back to put Theory through a table.
Overall, this felt like a well-paced go-home-style episode even though the pay-per-view is still two weeks out: hot angles up top and at the close, a satisfying tournament advancement, and a women’s division storyline that’s clearly building toward something bigger
